Hey guys,
I'll try not to make this long lol. I recently did a thermostat and it shattered into pieces when I pulled the coolant hose off. Needless to say a piece fell behind my crank pulley, got caught and destroyed the crank position sensor to nothing, mangled the crank hub as well. I replaced the sensor, straightened the hub as best as I could because I cant afford to replace it. I followed alldatas procedure. I checked the air gap between hub and sensor and it was within spec, tight, but within spec. Replaced the timing belt and timed it right.
She spit and sputtered and puffed smoke (because she leaks from pan and might have some blow-by) She started up and cleared out. I pulled it out and shut the car off because i still needed to install the fan. Went inside to clean up the oil leak, came back out and she wont start!
Not a single thing changed other than I had the battery on a charger when I started it. It spits, chokes, blows black smoke, backfires, the works. BUT WILL NOT TURN OVER.
I pulled the plugs, they were fouled so I cleaned them. Wont start with starter fluid. She's trying to fire over (so I know there is SOME spark), I know shes getting fuel because I cranked it with no ignition and let the injectors spray without plugs for a second. It has to be getting air.
I'm getting stumped and I'm sick of working on it and getting nowhere.
PLEASE, fill me in with any insight!
Thanks guys,
Brandon
